He is 29 years old and commits his horrendous crime alone. He is an underachiever, unskilled, doesn’t have a regular job and he is now a mass murderer. What made Martin Bryant go on a brutal killing spree at Port Arthur taking the lives of 35 people?

Working with a leading Australian forensic psychologist, investigative journalist Rochelle Jackson takes readers into the minds of eight of our country’s most notorious criminals: mass murderer Martin Bryant; sex offender Karen Ellis; serial killer Ivan Milat; serial arsonist Peter Burgess; armed robber Brenden Abbott; child killer Kathleen Folbigg; murderer Matthew Wales; and gangland killer Carl Williams.

Jackson explores the personalities, delves into their pasts and explores their motivations. Inside Their Minds is a penetrating, revealing and confrontational investigation into the criminal mind.
